Hello, my name is Dr. Norma Rosales. I am a first-generation Latina Christian woman. I have had the privilege of working as a mental health therapist for over 23 years. Throughout this time, I have supported individuals, couples, and families in achieving their mental health goals. Helping my clients grow, heal from trauma, and find solutions to their challenges has been a fulfilling journey that aligns with my deep commitment to serving others through Christ’s love and compassion.
My therapy journey began with a deep desire to help others gain clarity, healing, and emotional well-being. Over the years, I have witnessed the transformational power of therapy and how it allows individuals to discover their God-given strengths. Seeing clients experience hope, healing, and mental clarity reminds me of the biblical truth that through Christ, all things are possible, and every individual has the potential to overcome life’s obstacles.
In my practice, I use a Strength-Based and Solution-Focused approach, always highlighting the inherent strengths that my clients bring with them. I also incorporate faith-based elements for those who seek spiritual guidance in their healing process, recognizing the power of faith in providing comfort, resilience, and purpose. I believe in empathy, active listening, and creating a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their struggles and receive Christ-centered hope and encouragement.
My philosophy is simple: Therapy is a collaborative journey. I believe that every person can grow and overcome difficulties with Christ’s guidance and healing touch. My role is to walk alongside my clients, helping them find their path to mental health supported by faith and inner strength. What sets my approach apart is the integration of cultural sensitivity, empathy, and personalized care, all while reflecting the love of Christ. I honor each client’s unique experiences and partner with them to promote mental clarity and a balanced, healthy lifestyle rooted in faith.
One of the most rewarding moments in therapy is seeing clients reach their “aha” moment—when they realize that change is possible, healing is within reach, and with Christ’s help, they can overcome their challenges. I strive to guide each client toward that moment of breakthrough, providing a space of grace, understanding, and support as they move forward in their journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
